With its exceptional growth potential and versatility, Rohu promises to redefine the possibilities for fish farming in Nigeria. Moreover, our successful spawning program ensures a constant and reliable supply of Rohu juveniles, facilitating accessibility for fish farmers across the country.

Rohu, a freshwater fish native to South Asia, holds immense promise for aquaculture due to its adaptability to diverse environmental conditions and robust growth characteristics. Here are some key reasons why Rohu stands out as an excellent choice for aquaculture in Nigeria:

Fast Growth Rate: Rohu is renowned for its rapid growth, making it a highly desirable species for commercial aquaculture operations. Under optimal conditions, Rohu can attain marketable size within a relatively short period, ensuring quick returns on investment for farmers.

High Nutritional Value: Rich in protein, essential amino acids, and omega-3 fatty acids, Rohu offers excellent nutritional value. Its meat is prized for its taste and texture, appealing to the preferences of consumers in Nigeria and beyond.

Rohu fish contains less saturated fats and high omega-3 fats which protects from heart diseases. It also helps to reduce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rohu fish is beneficial for those suffering from age related macular degeneration.

Adaptability: Rohu exhibits remarkable adaptability to varied environmental conditions, including different water temperatures and quality parameters. This adaptability minimizes the risk of disease outbreaks and enhances overall resilience, contributing to the sustainability of aquaculture operations.

Feeding Efficiency: Rohu is an efficient feeder, demonstrating high feed conversion ratios. This characteristic translates to reduced feeding costs for farmers and optimized utilization of resources, making it an economically viable choice for aquaculture ventures.

Market Demand: With a growing demand for high-quality fish products in Nigeria’s burgeoning seafood market, Rohu presents an attractive opportunity for aquaculture entrepreneurs to capitalize on market trends and meet consumer preferences.
